Attention healthcare workers and caregivers! Here is a system to aid patients from falling off the toilet. The Toilet Safety Belt is a strap system specially designed for hospitals, nursing home and for those in the home health care sector, that helps secure patients while they are attending to bathroom personal needs. The design intent of the Toilet Safety Belt is to provide an effective means of preventing falls while allowing a patient his/her needed privacy.
The product is a safety belt made of strong material and Velcro® straps. A call bell cord is connected to the strap which will alert the caregiver or staff when help is needed or the patient starts to tip or fall. The straps are not restraints but rather self-releasing straps so it is important to have a call bell cord readily available. The Toilet Safety Belt consists of four D-hooks which are to be installed onto the wall directly behind the toilet with two placed evenly spaced apart above the second pair. The straps are disposable after use but are comfortable and able to adjusted for a secure fit around the patient while in use. Televised test marketing has been completed indicating exceptional consumer interest in the Toilet Safety Belt.
The Patent Pending Toilet Safety Belt was invented by Rita de Cassie Silva of Los Angeles, CA who said, “It can be challenging for healthcare workers to maintain client's safety while respecting their privacy. Many of the falls happen during the period that clients identified high risk for falls are left alone on the toilet. The Toilet Safety Belt was designed to alleviate staff's burden to make a critical decision to leave a client alone. It keeps the patient secure while respecting their privacy.”
